Everything is plugged in correctly and checked many times. As far as I |

know there aren't any sound daemons running, this is a new install, only |
| 32 |
a couple of weeks old. Everything looks like it should be working, the |
| 33 |

I'm not deaf and can rule that out. This is a basic set up with lvm2, |
| 35 |
gnome, firefox, thunderbird, and openoffice. That's about it, nothing |

fancy. |
